Watch: Bowen Yang and Reneé Rapp Re-create 'Saltburn' Dance for Jacob Elordi and He's Not Impressed

With "Saltburn" star Jacob Elordi hosting "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, cast member Bowen Yang and musical guest Reneé Rapp went all out with a reenactment of the movie's famous dance scene.
Well... not all out, actually, since unlike Barry Keoghan, Elordi's costar in the film, Yang and Rapp kept their clothes on. But they re-created the choreography for the film's wild finale, Teen Vogue reports.
"In a video posted to the late-night sketch show's social media pages, Rapp is shown alongside SNL cast member and comedian Bowen Yang dancing through the studios to the recently viral song, 'Murder on the Dancefloor.' Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2002 hit has gained a second life thanks to the Emerald Fennell-directed film that stars Elordi and Keoghan and has sparked reenactments of the movie's end scene," the magazine relayed.
In the video, Bowen and Rapp dance through the backstage area of "SNL," emerging into the studio where Elordi sits in a director's chair.
"The two seem to be having the time of their lives, with Rapp wearing flared cream-colored pants with pointed heels, a black corset top, and an oversized black blazer," TeenVogue detailed.
Elordi makes a show of clapping in an unimpressed manner... which might be understandable, since it was Keoghan, not him, who shucked every stitch of clothing for the triumphant dance scene that ends the twisty psychological thriller.
Not that the handsome Aussie had much to complain about, since every skit on the show seemed to be all about him.
